This reverts ill-advised commitsc07523734fand8d42890df4that disabled native OS X behavior of substituting dashes and quotes with typographically correct characters if the user has this feature enabled. This was a bad idea for two reasons: 1. It made wx applications behave non-natively, and thus be worse, in a highly noticeable area. 2. It made it impossible for applications that want to behave correctly to restore the native behavior, because once setAutomaticDashSubstitutionEnabled or setAutomaticQuoteSubstitutionEnabled is called (as wxTextCtrl constructor does), it's no longer possible to obtain its original, default setting. It's not better to disable native functionality by default, it's better to be native and make customizations possible. wxWindow API exposes access to the native control and if an application desires to disable substitution behavior, it can easily do so from user code. See also #186 and #241.
About
wxWidgets is a free and open source cross-platform C++ framework for writing advanced GUI applications using native controls.
wxWidgets allows you to write native-looking GUI applications for all the major desktop platforms and also helps with abstracting the differences in the non-GUI aspects between them. It is free for the use in both open source and commercial applications, comes with the full, easy to read and modify, source and extensive documentation and a collection of more than a hundred examples. You can learn more about wxWidgets at https://www.wxwidgets.org/ and read its documentation online at http://docs.wxwidgets.org/
